Considered YouTube for showing tough to photo toned coins?

I was thinking of the difficulty of getting a feel for the toning of coin without the benefit of seeing it in-hand. Has anyone taken a video to demonstrate the changing toning of a coin as seen in-hand, put the video on YouTube, for example, then used a link to the video as an advertising tool?
HSN coin ad. A poor example, but gives an idea of what may help show off toners.

ps. Just for fun, here's another YouTube coin sale: Not HSN. Is this YOU?

    I've actually seen this before in several eBay auctions. It worked well for seeing the true colors of the coin but was probably more work than it was worth.

    It's probably not a bad idea but:
    1. Filming equipment (lighting, camcorder, etc.) can get much more expensive than photography with a camera
    2. Time (editing, etc.)

    most dig cameras have a movie feature. Wouldn't be hard to upload one to youtube at all.
